We welcome and encourage everyone to attend as often as possible.
Slow Down...Summer's Coming

Grounds
A reminder--the covenants and Restrictions prohibit homeowners from sweeping or blowing sweetgum balls [or leaves, grass, etc.] into the streets or sewers.
PLEASE--do not feed the geese or wild animals in the Neighborhood. They create a lot of damage to the greenways [and lake] that is very costly to the homes association and home owners.
